Being an Effective Councillor - delivered by Gabbie Joyce via Zoom
"And thank you for such an excellent course, I learnt a huge amount and all very useful."
"I gained a great deal from this course, more than I anticipated given that I attended a new councillor training session when I first became a councillor. I have put my name down for the one on Planning and will continue to look for others to broaden my knowledge and understanding."
"Thanks Gabbie. Nice to meet you and also I found the course very interesting. In fact I think it should be a must for everyone starting the journey and an update for those who have been PCs for years but never had training."
"Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for all the training over the two mornings. It was most appreciated and has helped to start my journey in putting all the pieces into place. I hope this will enable me to develop into a better councillor and add weight to the decision making process."
"Many thanks again for your time and in-depth review of being an effective councillor. I took lots of notes and your anecdotes gave me plenty to think about. I certainly feel far more confident to both understand and contribute at our next committee meeting...you made what could be considered a dry subject very enjoyable and really brought to life the possibilities we have to positively engage and influence our local community."

Planning for Councillors delivered by Michael Rayner
"One of the great things about these courses is the input from the other attendees. It covered a lot of ground and I would recommend it for any Parish Councillor interested in how the planning system in the UK works. It was also a chance to get questions answered by an expert so useful on the count too."
